New Define Pages -- How Appear?

Hi. I have created some new Define Pages, but can't figure out how to get the actual tabs to show up on my website. Any help would be great!

Your description needs some clarification so we can actually help.
What define pages have you added? Can you edit them in the Define Page Editor? What tabs do you want to show and where? A link to see your site may be helpful.

I can edit them in Tools - Define Pages. It seems like I have also listed them in my hosting account sometime ago, but now I can find where it is. The tab I want to show up would be on my main page along with the current ones of HOME, ABOUT, PRODUCTS. Does this help?

A link to your site would help more:)
If you want them in the ez-pages header bar, that is very simple - just create an ez-page internal link for the define page, and set it to display where you want it. Other locations will be a bit more complex, but not difficult.

It is definitely not an EZ-Page. Here is a link:

I am looking to add a new tab right after PRODUCTS.

OK, so you want to display the link on pages outside Zen Cart as well as in a custom HTML link list in the ZC header. The simplest answer is to add a new link for the define page the same way you made the links for the other pages. Be aware that navigating out of ZC for a while can cause the session to be lost along with anything in the shopping cart.
Once you get the ZC template modified to look like your original page design, you can transfer all other content into ZC pages and keep the navigation "in the family".
You can use the ez-pages header bar, restyled to match and fit where your current links are, in place of the hard-coded links.

Thanks for the info. Since I personally did not create the the current tabs, is this something I need to have the original creater do for me?

You didnt say that it wasn't your coding. It is very simple - just replicate one of the links in the list with the correct address and text.
I can't tell you what file to edit outside of Zen Cart, but inside ZC it would be in /includes/templates/your_template/common/tpl_header.php, and you would alter the URL to remove the /zencart/.

<ul>
	<li><a href="index.shtml">Home</a></li>
	<li><a href="about.shtml">About</a></li>

	<li><a href="http://mypetfection.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=contact_us">Contact</a></li>		
	<li><a href="/zencart/">Products</a></li>	
	<li><a href="/zencart/index.php?main_page=new_define_page">New Define Page</a></li>	
</ul>

Replace new_define_page with the name that shows in the address bar when you are at the page.
